Idol group Stray Kids (Stray Kids) members Bang Chan, Lee Know, and I.N served as one-day teachers at a hospital school through social content, sharing warmth with others.

JYP Entertainment (hereinafter JYP) has been presenting the social content "JYP 4 EARTH" since 2023 as part of its ESG management. "JYP 4 EARTH" is a campaign where JYP artists carry out various activities for a better Earth, conveying a positive perspective toward a sustainable society. On the 18th, the official YouTube channel released Stray Kids' "Dreaming Hospital School" video. This video, as part of the EDM (Every Dream Matters! : All dreams in the world are precious) volunteer activity, includes barrier-free subtitles personally written by JYP employees and staff, completing content that more people can enjoy.

Bang Chan, Lee Know, and I.N visited the hospital school at Samsung Seoul Hospital, with which they have been cooperating as partners in the EDM domestic treatment cost support project since 2020. The three members, who previously donated to Samsung Seoul Hospital patients on their birthdays last year, devoted themselves to spending a meaningful time with students while carrying a more special heart. Through conversations with the principal and an OX quiz on one-day teacher appointments, the members understood that a hospital school is "a school installed within a hospital for students who cannot receive school education due to treatment, where children of various ages come together not only to learn but also to gain emotional stability." They then prepared lessons together with volunteer teachers, decorated the classroom themselves, and welcomed the students with trembling hearts.

The class that day proceeded in the order of English, art, and letter writing, centered on the song "Youtiful" from Stray Kids' third full album "★★★★★ (5-STAR)" (Five Star), which carries the message "You are beautiful in your own way." Bang Chan, who led the English class, began with the meaning of "Youtiful," read the lyrics together, explained them in an easy-to-understand manner, and helped students choose the sentences they liked most. The art class was led by Lee Know. Students who selected touching sentences wrote or drew pictures to create baking drawing keychains. The students captured lyrics such as "I am sure that I see the universe in your eyes" and "You are Youtiful," along with their favorite foods and thoughts about their families, onto the keychains.

Finally, I.N led the letter-writing activity. The three members stood by to help students express gratitude while thinking of precious people, and were moved by their sincere efforts, feeling their hearts warm. The students conveyed their thanks not only to their mothers and social welfare teachers but also to the staff who participated in the filming. In particular, a student who received treatment through Lee Know's donation personally delivered a thank-you letter to Lee Know, completing a special moment. The members also responded with warmth, saying, "It was our first time being teachers, and we are grateful that the students followed along well. It feels like the happiest day we've had."

The children concluded the class with joyful hearts, saying, "The word 'Youtiful' was truly beautiful, and today was so much fun. I ate well, slept well, and received treatment diligently. I want to meet again later when I am healthier. Stray Kids, fighting!" I.N said, "(Rather) I think I was the one who received a lot of emotion. I will strive to become a singer who can give dreams and hope to the children," Bang Chan said, "Perhaps because I read the letters the students wrote, the feeling was strange and really hit home. It will be an unforgettable moment, and I want to come again," and Lee Know shared his thoughts and message of encouragement, saying, "It was such a wonderful day. I hope the children don't get sick, that their illnesses disappear completely, and that they become healthy."

Meanwhile, Stray Kids captivated over 45,000 audience members as headliners of the massive U.S. music festival "The Governors Ball Music Festival" on the 6th (local time). In September, they will attend Brazil's "Rock in Rio" and launch their first new festival in Latin America, "STRAYCITY" (Stray City), across three regions.
